Contact Dermatitis - How much compensation will I receive?
How much can I get?
The total amount of compensation that you will be entitled to, will very much depend upon the extent of your injuries and disabilities.
You could be compensated for loss of earnings if you are unable to work. Damages are also awarded for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life as a result of your illness.
You are also entitled to be awarded the cost of any medical, treatment and pharmaceutical expenses incurred by you in respect of treatment for your occupational skin disease.
Here are some examples of compensation for pain and suffering for skin disease claims:
Contact Dermatitis which affects one or both hands with the usual symptoms of vigorous itching or various rashes that can last for several months will usually lead to a compensation payout between £15,000 - £17,000.
A more serious condition of Dermatitis or Eczema to both hands with the symptoms lasting for several years with the risk of recurrence if exposed to an irritant could attract to a settlement between £17,000 – Upwards.
Severe Dermatitis which is affecting the hands or body with permanent symptoms including psychological injury can range from £40,000 - upwards.
Our solicitor is a specialist in occupational skin disease claims and often settles claims for between £25,000 and £40,000 upwards.
